AS I mentioned in an earlier post, while shooting in the rain today the UPS man brought me another package. Well this is it. A brand new Knight TK 2000 12 gauge shotgun with the extra full turkey choke. I always wanted one and the deal I got on this one I could not pass it up. So now I have to work a load up and then go turkey hunting.

How I ended up with this shotgun I still can not believe I was that lucky, but it is here and I am going to shoot it. I want to mount a RED DOT on this shotgun so I still have to get some bases as I have a RED DOT laying around the house. According to the person I talk to a lot at Knight Rifles.. Jeff, he said load 100 grains of powder 2f, then a turkey shot cup and a measure of shot from a second shot cup that shoudl equal, 2-1/2 ounces of #5 shot and an over the shot card. He told me this would be good for an easy 40 yards. I never shot a turkey that far away. I have always waited for them to get with in 25 yards. So now I have a couple of these black powder shotguns (three of them actually) and that's enough of them...

I will see what kind of pattern it throws this weekend if I can sneak out on the company. Maybe if they take a nap I can go out in the yard and shoot... After all, why should they sleep and not me..
